BH's foray into the veggie world continued recently with the purchase from Sainsbury's of two matching haggises, one veggie (snapped above) and one regular.
She elected to microwave it and cooked it looked very much like the real thing, perhaps a little paler. The flavour was much the same too, but the giveaway was the texture, a pasty back texture which made me think flour, even though no flour is to be seen on the list of ingredients. Perhaps some of the beans go down to paste. None of the slight dampness which I expect in the real thing.
But it did contain plenty of different ingredients, with carrots top of the list after water, followed by swede, oatmeal, barley and cooking oil. I don't think I would have done very well at guessing.
So the overall verdict was not bad, entirely eatable, but not yet as good as the real thing. Which we will be having tomorrow.
PS: also cheap, maybe a couple of quid or so for a meal for two, although Sainsbury's are not admitting to having it on their website this afternoon. Maybe something to do with Burns night having come and gone for another year.
